Patented Jan. 26, 1932 UNITED STATES CLARA ZUGKERMANN, OIE' VIENNA, AUSTRIA CLOTHES HANGER Application led January 21, 1929, Serial No. 333,912, and in Germany Detober 11, 1928.

'llhe present invention comprises a clothes hanger which is formed or provided with means for attaching thereto a protecting cover for the clothes which are to be placed on the hanger.

Conveniently and advantageously the device consists oi a ring connected to the hook rod and preferably made in one piece therewith, and to which the covering is attached la by means, tor example, ot' small slide rings or runners. F or this purpose in the hereinafter described example, the hook rod is bent in the middle, formed into a ring and closed on to the first bent portion in such a way that it lies against it and, after a further bend, iorms the continuation of the straight portion of the hook, the. lower end of which carriesl the shoulder or cross-piece for carrying the clothes.

One form oi carrying out the present invention is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. l represents a clothes hanger according to the present invention without a protection cover, and Fig. 2 the same hanger with the protection cover applied thereto.

c designates the usual hook and a, the shanlr or rod thereof which is screwed into or otherwise attached to the shoulder 7) ot the clothes hanger and is bent horizontally at Z to form a horizontal portion e. The shank or rod is again bent at f and formed into a ring which is closed at f1. Here the hook rod or shank a is again bent horizontally towards the centre of the ring, to form the portion e] which lies against the portion e and is again bent downwards at the centre ot the ring at d in order to form a prolongation Z1 ot' the straight hook rod a. At its Ml lower end the portion ax may be fitted with an ordinary thread 7L by means of which it can be screwed into the shoulder or crosspiece d. 0n to the ring g are run small rings i to which can be secured the cover which serves the purpose of protecting the clothes (Fig. 2). t

In the one-piece hook construction described and shewn it will be seen that the rings 'i can be run on to the ring g by passing 'J0 them on to the ring g over the hook c, the portion a and the portion e, the portions e and el springing apart to allow of the small rings z' being inserted and coming together again after the rings i have been inserted, just in the saine way as a key-ring, so that the ring g is always closed after the small rings z' have been put on. .After a suiiicient number of small rings a' have been run on to the hook ring g, the cloth cover is sewn on or otherwise attached to the small rings.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is l. In a clothes hanger of the character described, a suspending hook having a bent portion, a yoke carried thereby, and a protecting cover comprising a ring formed integrally with said bent portion of said hook, said ring open at its meeting place with said bent portion to allow the threading of a plurality of rings upon said ring, and a curtain suspended therefrom.

2. A garment protector and hanger comprising a yoke, a suspension member for same, an intermediary substantially ring-shaped portion integrally formed with said member, said ring shaped portion being divided to allow a separation ot its parts for permitting the threading of rings on said ring portion, and a curtain suspended from said rings to envelop garments suspended from said yoke.

3. A clothes hanger having means for attaching a protecting cover for the clothes thereto in which the cover' attaching means 85 consists of a ring in connection with the hook conponent of the hanger the ring being formed out ot a bent portion of the hook rod the bent portions (e, el) between the ring (g) and the hook rod (a, al) lying against each other in such a way that they can spring apart when rings which serve the purpose ot attaching the protecting cover to the hook ring (g) are being inserted and can come together again after the rings have been inserted. In testimony whereotl I afiin my signature.
